CHENNAI: Director Dr Pragabhal is known for his work in Muddy, India’s first full-length film on mud racing. He is back with another project, Jockey, which is based on the traditional goat fight in Madurai.

The film is all set to hit the screens on January 14, locking horns with Karthi’s Vaa Vaathiyaar, Jiiva-starrer Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil and Richard Rishi’s Draupathi 2.

For the film to be authentic, the actors had to build a real bond with the goats. So, the actors had to dedicate time, undergo physical training, and face real risks during practice. The cast includes Yuvan Krishna, Ridhaan Krishnas, Ammu Abhirami, Kali and Madhusudhan Rao.

Backed by PK7 Studios LLP, Jockey has music by Sakthi Balaji. NB Srikanth is the editor, while Udhayakumar handles the camera.
